Hello Jinx, can we please offer you a warm welcome under these difficult circumstances and it does take great courage to post any comment on this site and please know that we are here to listen to you and feel the pain you're going through, and for a 13 year old we totally understand the position you're in, because we've been through this ourselves, but it's not us, it's about how you are struggling and we're so sorry for you.

This pain is excruciating for you and we definitely know by what you have told us because it puts you in a situation believing that people think it's just a sadness and nothing more, but a sadness which appears every day with deep negative thoughts is a concern where you need help, your emotions and behaviour change where you can't pretend to anybody that everything is ok any more.

We are here to not only help you but give you the support you want, so please we'd love to hear back from you.

Geoff.

Hello Jinx

I wanted to extend my welcome to you along with Geoff and with Sophie_M, it is so brave that you have reached out here for someone to talk to when you are feeling so desperate and in need of some help.

I am wondering if you have been able to reach one of the support services since posting here as I think that would be really helpful to you at this time. Kids Helpline also have a web based chat service which might help you too if you feel that you are not able to talk on the phone, I will put the link here for you:

https://kidshelpline.com.au/get-help/webchat-counselling

I am so sorry to hear that you have been struggling for so long, that at such a young age you are feeling so very overwhelmed to the point that you have put plans in place. We are here for you, to share how you are feeling, to listen and to sit with you through this time, if you would like to share some more of how things are for you right now and to get some things off your chest we are here for you.

I am also wondering if you have at any point shared with your parents or carers how you are feeling and how things are for you? If you have been able to get to see a GP to get some extra support?

I hope to chat to you some more as we care so much about you and even though we are over the computer we do want to help, to listen and to sit with you in this time of your pain.

Huge hugs to you

What an awesome update to read.

I am so proud you have been able to write down how you are feeling and put something together for your appointment. Afterall, the more you share and the more you express how you are feeling the more that they are able to help. It is hard to talk about these sorts of things so I feel so proud of you that you have done a letter.

Please know you are not alone, that there are so many other people who are your age that are struggling too. I am sure that the therapist has many people who are going through similar things to you so have comfort in knowing that there is nothing "wrong" with you, you are going through a tough time and need some support.

We are here if you need to chat after your appointment today, sending you all my strength as you start your journey to wellness.

Hugs

Sarah

Hi Jinx_,

Welcome to the forum and I just wanted to say good on you for reaching out and getting help. Sometimes that first step can be incredibly hard but you're extremely courageous for doing that. We are here for you if you need a safe space to talk. Take care Jinx_
